I don't think the drawing is bad, if you mean the proportions and modeling of form. On the contrary, I think it is improving every time you post. By drybrush, do you mean you are mixing oils without medium? I am assuming you are working in oil because it looks like oil.
Judson, I have a suggestion: I think you are doing so well on these self-portraits that it is time you took a leap and painted someone else from life. There must be someone you know who would be thrilled to have a portrait of themselves in return for X hours of sitting. Your painting will progress much faster if you challenge yourself in this way.
